I saw leaves on some trees this weekend so Spring must really be here. But before we know it, summer will take over and it will be hot and muggy again. And I will be praying for the cool weather to return.

My favorite season is winter because I love the cold weather and I love the holiday festivities. So what is your favorite season?

If I lived on the East or Gulf Coast I would dread summer too. I think my favorite has to be fall because of the glorious colors that come with the crisp nights. However, living in Seattle I really enjoy the long daylight hours of summertime and for the most part our heat is not terribly oppressive rarely rising about 80 degrees and cooling to the 50's at night.

You're so lucky to experience long daylight hours in Seattle without the oppressive heat of summer. In Singapore, the sun rises and sets around the same time everyday, 365 days a year (7.00am to 7.15pm. Boring!)...and the worst part is, it's searingly hot, hellishly hot. Factor in humidity and you have a huge oven working at maximum effect. I hate this country's climate. Somebody save me.

Oh Ming, you are so lucky to live where you do. The heat and humidity and the closeness of everything must be perfect. You have millions upon millions of neighbors and all are just around the block. You don't have to drive for miles to see another living soul but you can turn your head in one direction or the other and see dozens; hundreds.

Winter is for the birds and even they don't like it. They head south and hang out in places like Florida and come back north when things begin to warm up. Of course, they don't like the sultry south in the summer when the humidity is higher than the temperature.

I really like winter too but only since I no longer have to deal with it and go to and come back through the ice and snow and slush and salt and freezing roads.

Nice post, Ming. That bit of green is the hope of the future now being smothered by mankind and finally people are beginning to realize that Nature is going to get it's share one way or the other. With us around or without.

I don't really have a favourite season, because each season has it's own charm.But I must admit that even though winter is beautiful and lots of fun, the winter just passed was too cold, too snowy and far too long.... therefore I am embracing Spring with open arms. But it seems as though we will go straight to Summer... it's been HOT here all weekend!

Ming...love the photo...I lived in New York..in the city, one summer as a child...I remember the summers being hot and muggy. I was starved for trees and flowers..Central Park was our only escape.. I can totally see why you yearn for the winter holidays....then New York City is "Magical"...

To be a bore,Summer,Summer,oh and did I say summer.Brtish rain,is no fun

If it's to photograph though, has to be Autumn,sorry Fall. It's the delicious array of colours,the depth and texture you don't have any other time of the year. So if I could have Fall colours,in a Summer season, on the French Riviera, then I'm be one happy mad bird lady.
